I was thinking about AIM fields and magical artifacts, and there were a couple of questions that I wanted to ask here.

Firstly, we've seen the incompatibility between AIM and mana, as well as the damage that can be caused by it. We've seen this effect being used against a magic user to damage them - I was thinking that (active?) magical artifacts might experience similar damage. Do you think this would be the case?

The second question regards espers wielding magical artifacts (knowingly or not). I wasn't sure about what conditions might set off a rejection reaction, whether it was any triggering, a conscious invocation or what (for example, what would happen if an esper, unaware of the consequences, were to unsheath Dáinsleif (not that that would happen though)). I was also not sure about whether items with a continuous effect would cause a reaction or not (Aisa's cross doesn't but that might not apply for some artifacts). What do you lot think the conditions are?

(Apologies for poor writing, tired)

I would assume an Esper even physically touching a magical object or weapon would set off a reaction.
